Chapter 1536: Date was fixed

Star University

Faction Leader Francesca returned to the Star University campus. After returning to the faction residence, she resumed her work.

Apart from the dean, nobody knew about her departure and arrival now. The other faction leaders thought that she was busy preparing the list as well.

The challenge letter was accepted by Dean Jerome, but the date of the competition was not decided yet, since other universities had challenged Star University.

The venue would be Star University as well.

The deans of the other universities were waiting for the response from Dean Jerome.

On the other hand, Dean Jerome had been waiting for Faction Leader Francesca. Knowing that she had returned, he made a call to her.

He then learned from her that Zack Lockwood was fine. He had rented the hidden chamber.

Knowing that Zack Lockwood was going to succeed soon, he decided to announce the date of the competition tomorrow.

Rupert continued to spend a few hours looking for a way to sneak in, but his efforts failed. The guards truly did their job.

They didn’t leave the entrance of the main hall. A few others continued to patrol the place. Since there were only a few hours left before sunrise, he decided to go back to his room.

...

The following day,

Dean Jerome released another official announcement. The date of the competition was going to be in the next five days.

When the news was published, the whole campus was in an uproar. They didn’t expect the date of the competition to be within this week.

The warriors had less time for preparation. They didn’t know why Dean Jerome did that. All the Faction Leaders were surprised as well.

They could only believe in Dean Jerome. However, they had completed the namelist.

They had their namelist ready based on the warriors present here, because not all the warriors were present on campus. Most of them were in the warrior camps. It was the same case with the other universities.

But the Dean of the Dark Shadow University had other plans in mind. He called back more terrifying warriors from the warrior camp.

These strong Purple Mark Warriors had fought against the foreign creatures and survived many battles. They could face Zack Lockwood without any problem.

The Giant Tower Academy, Eclipse Academy, and the Silver Academy made preparations for the competition as well. The aim of all four competitors was to deal with Zack Lockwood.

They didn’t know whether Zack Lockwood would participate or not. If Zack Lockwood didn’t participate, then they would definitely provoke Star University.

Ball Family

Rupert had failed last night. In the morning, he came across his friends. He didn’t tell anyone. They did their joint training as per the daily schedule.

But there was another group that wanted to visit the main hall. After completing the daily joint training, the group of four members started going towards the main hall.

They reached the main hall, but their path was blocked by the guards. They saw that family members had come here.

The group of four were taken aback. They didn’t expect to see guards here. Their expressions turned solemn.

"We want to enter the main hall," one of them said.

The four of them knew the rules, but still, one of them decided to try.

Hearing that, the patrol guards understood these members were here to cause problems.

"Don’t you know no one is allowed to enter the Family Head’s place?"

"The Main Elders ordered us not to allow anyone inside the main hall. You guys can leave," a leader of the patrol team said in a solemn tone.

Hearing that tone, the four of them felt displeasure, but they couldn’t do anything here. If they argued against the guards, the news would reach the ears of the main elders.

If the main elders were here, they would punish them. The group was not afraid of the punishment; it was just that they hadn’t succeeded in their plan. They didn’t know who the young man was either.

"We are leaving," one of them uttered.

Then the leader of the guards nodded his head.

They watched the group of four warriors leaving the place. The leader sighed in relief. He wanted to inform the main elders, but he changed his mind at the last moment.

He knew these family members were curious. If they did the same thing again, he would inform the main elders then.

The group of friends returned to the gathering place. There were other people as well. Everyone was discussing the challenge letter.

They wanted to know when the competition would take place. They didn’t know the group of friends near them had just gone to the main hall.

As time passed, more curious family members went to the main hall to check. They were all stopped by the patrol guards.

The leader finally told the main elders that family members were visiting the main hall, but they were all blocked by them.

The main elders were not stupid. They knew some of their own descendants were reckless. They once again gave a strict warning to the members.

This time, the main elders used the name of the hidden members.

When the name of the hidden members was used, the family members finally realized how serious the matter was.

Rupert and the other groups understood that the identity of the young man was grander than they thought.

Rupert was glad that he didn’t take the risk. He was alone. If he had made a mistake, then the punishment would have been severe.

The other group of friends were happy that they didn’t break the rules this time. After encountering the patrol guards, they had changed their minds.

None of them had second thoughts about visiting the main hall again. Instead, they shifted their attention back to Star University. They wanted to know about the competition.

Then they heard about the official statement. The competition was going to be within 5 days. It excited them greatly. The name of Zack Lockwood was heard.

They didn’t know whether Zack Lockwood was going to participate. They knew Zack Lockwood was from the Thunderflame Faction, but his name was popular both in Star University and the Tier-4 region.
